“Excellent food. We loved it. Loved that you can name your spice level and level 5 is spicy but still flavorful. We have our favorite spot for Indian food and after tonight we have a new favorite. Service was a little slow but the worker was doing his best. I can't wait to return for another meal. The chicken tika masala was great and the vindiloo was too. Loved the garlic naan also. Small place but should not be overlooked.”
“One of the best restaurants to provide indian food near northwestern campus”
“Really terrific Indian restaurant in the heart of Evanston. We’ve been dining here for several years and everything is always fresh and delicious. The young man who operates the restaurant is very polite and efficient. We love Mumbai Grill! Ex”
“We have had indian food pretty regularly over the last 15 years in 3-4 other restaurants on the north side of Chicago and Skokie, this is a rare gem where the curries made us say, Wow. The complex spices are delicious.”
“The food here is consistently good -- been there over a dozen times. Chicken Makhani is our favorite as the chicken pieces are tender nugget sized, not shredded, with a thick and rich sauce. Their spices taste fresh and vibrant. They have always gotten the heat levels right when lower levels were indicated. We get carry out so I can't speak to the atmosphere but the dining room is always clean. Very friendly and efficient service.”
“Food was very delicious but it's not Halal food. I asked after ordering and just before eating food if it's Halal. The gentleman was kind to confirm it's not Halal. This is the first Indian restaurant I saw in all the countries I traveled which is not Halal. They gave me different food. I was ready to pay for chicken ordered as it was mistake not asking before but they were very kind to waive the cost from the bill. If Halal food is not your preference then food quality is good and Mango Lassi is must try here.”
“So good!! The malai kofta is amazing every time and the chicken dishes are good too. Only complaint is I wish they didn’t wrap takeout in plastic”
“Best Indian food in the area. Better than any of the places at Devon. My favorites are the Malai Kofta, Samosa Chaat, Aloo Chaat, Bhuna Ghost (lamb). Even the breads are proper as in India, not the double layer poori-like naans all the places at Devon serve. The most positive surprise for me that this place is BYOB! Lastly, if you're NU affiliated, don't forget to take a 10% wildcard discount :)”
